Everything Austen Challenge Update

I've just been going like crazy on my list! I'm actually just going to keep going on everything Austen until the deadline. I want to see how many I can get in in the next five months.

Watched From My List:

Pride and Prejudice (2005)

Sense and Sensibility (Emma Thompson)

Emma (Gwyneth Paltrow)

Persuasion (newer version)

Pride and Prejudice: A Latter-day Comedy

Sense and Sensibility (2007)

I still have P&P (1995) to watch!

Read From My List:

Confessions of a Jane Austen Addict

I still have Rude Awakenings of a Jane Austen Addict (in progress), Confession of Fitzwilliam Darcy, Intimations of Austen, Mr. Darcy, Vampyre.

Watched Not On My List:

Lost in Austen

Persuasion (1995)

Read Not On My List:

Jane Austen For Dummies

There are quite a few more movies in the works that I'm going to be watching and I really want to reread Austen's original novels and finally read Mansfield Park. I also am looking forward to some fan-fiction that I've read reviews on from fellow Austen Challengers! It looks like a great last half of the year!

I'm not sticking to the list alone either. In fact I've read/watched things not in the list more than the ones I have in the list. But you're right, I just want to go on with anything Austen that I can find, regardless of having completed the contest.

Wow! You really have been whacking them off your list. I've found myself watching/reading more stuff that's not on my list than that which is. I just watched Mansfield Park last night, and it was interesting! Hope you enjoy reading the book. I still need to read "Sense and Sensibility."

Out of the Austen novels you've read so far which one has been your favorite?
